Meta just adapted current technology to the application of social/peer pressure. This dates back to Lenin, or perhaps even King Henry VIII as a tool of the state. And even earlier in theocracies.

As I'd say during jury selection, "If I have to sit here for seven weeks, someone is going to jail."

... make me look fat?

No. You make it look fat.

Chasing after Dyson spheres might be pointless. The resources needed to build one, or even a low density Dyson swarm would tax the resources of a single planet or even the exploitable resources of a solar system. So we wouldn't see one until a civilization had developed interstellar travel. But once they've got that, why bother with the sphere anymore? You just expand your civilization to the newly colonized systems.

Only this fall's election will settle that question.

Air cooling. Like my old Volkswagen.

That's not what I said at all. I said that people who are illegal border jumpers are likely the intended audience for people selling pirated Spanish content. But if that's how you choose to expend your mod points, have at it.

Hmm. That does not appear to be the case. One holding a copyright could simply claim that certain uses harm the value of their public image where others do not. Or one could break copyright by backing a grassroots movement to use IP without permission, resulting in the copyright holder having to pursue every little case. Now pardon me while I break out a Kleenex and cry for our corporate overlords.

I use my dad's computer.

... just replace references to roach motels with Trump hotels in exterminator ads.

... is Meta AI? And who let it connect to online services? This is really like a toddler, caught next to the cookie jar with crumbs on its face.

Take its iPhone away.

Lots of local stations read stories practically verbatim off various wire services (AP, Reuters, etc).

Watch all the ads targeting millennials looking for drug/dui defense attorneys.

Pay for usage? How would I do that? I haven't purchased any tokens and I don't have a credit card. Because I'm only 12 years old (as far as Google, et al know).

Drat...the rest of my comment got chopped....

So to get relief, you go after anyone that's easily identifiable that "enables" piracy instead. Yeah, that's the ticket. :P
